+==== {api-description-title}
+
+The SAML 2.0 specification provides a mechanism for Service Providers to
+describe their capabilities and configuration using a metadata file. This API
+generates Service Provider metadata, based on the configuration of a SAML realm
+in {es}.
+
+[[security-api-saml-sp-metadata-path-params]]
+==== {api-path-parms-title}
+
+`<realm_name>`::
+  (Required, string) The name of the SAML realm in {es}.

+
+`metadata`::
+(string) An XML string that contains a SAML Service Provider's metadata for the realm.
+
+[[security-api-saml-sp-metadata-example]]
+==== {api-examples-title}

+SAML realm `saml1`:
+
+[source,console]
